What point on the line y=9x+8 is closest to the origin

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marat540 [252]3 years ago
3 0

to find the point, find the location

realize that the shortest line that crosses through the origin and y=9x+8 is perpendicular to y=9x+8

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1

y=9x+8 has a slope of 9

9*m=-1, m=-1/9

the slope of the mystery line is -1/9

since it passes through the origin, the y intercept is 0

y=(-1/9)x is the equation of the line from the point to the origin

find the intersection of this line and the original line

set them equal to each other

(-1/9)x=9x+8

multily both sides by 9

-x=81x+72

minus 81 both sides

-82x=72

divide both sides by -82

x=-36/41

find y

y=(-1/9)x

y=(-1/9)(-36/41)

y=4/41

the point is (\frac{-36}{41},\frac{4}{41})

ad-work [718]

Answer:

C. 343.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the tax rate into a decimal and multiply by the house price:

.023(179,000) = 4,117

Divide by 12 (to get monthly rate):

4,117/12 ≈ 343.08

Option C should be the correct answer.

Triangle ABC was dilated by 50%. What is the relationship between AC and A'C'?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:      

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

A'C' ----> the length of segment A'C'

AC ----> the length of segment AC

so

z=\frac{A'C'}{AC}                        

we have that

z=50\%=50/100=\frac{1}{2} ---> the dilation is a reduction, because the scale factor is less than 1 and greater than zero

substitute

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{A'C'}{AC}                

AC=2A'C'

therefore

The length of segment AC is two times the length of segment A'C'
